    Question: Do You Use Feminine Wash Products?

    Posted by Tine | July 15, 2009


    Today’s question is a little on the personal side, but I’d really like to hear what you think.

    Do you use feminine wash products? Do you believe in using one? If you do, which brand of feminine wash do you use? Or do you douche instead? Have you had any bad experience with feminine washes and/or douching?

    Would really love to hear your opinions in the comments below, as it would help me with an article about feminine washing that I’m currently writing. If you like, you may remain anonymous.

    Thanks, and looking forward to reading your comments!

      I use Lactacyd and I use it daily! I can’t really say that it works so well or it doesn’t, as I do feel the “clean feeling” down there but I can’t say it changes the situation down there, you know what I mean? I just use it “Just to make sure” ! :)

      i tried 3 brands by far

      i know one is lactogyn (recommended by my doctor) and eve (my mum gave it to me, i prefer lactogyn and another brand). i know the other brand sounds like lactogyn but cant seem to recall the name.

      i heard douching can irritate your vagina. i dont dare try that but apprently washing too frequent with feminine wash isnt good as well.

      i used to till my husband told me it’s not a good practice in terms of medical point of view. He explained how these products reduce our body’s natural protection against bacterias and etc. so best thing is just the plain old water. and that’s what i use now. been like that for years.

      I’m not particular on brand. not even sure if they work… I just use them cuz they’re there. I’ve switched between Lactacyd and Eve.

      Plain water…i don’t believe in using in any wash products as they contain chemicals and might do worst than good. Rather do it the natural way with water. Dampen your tissue with water and wipe after every pee does the trick…HTH

      I use Lactacyd! Hmmm… i guess i’m using it out of habit and would probably feel weird without using it! Don’t think it makes a difference though…

      Just ol’ plain water. I think that’s the safest and the best!

      just plain water =]

      because i heard many ppl said that most products have harmful chemicals. Even though the products say its gentle for women, over time the chemical will built up around the area and may trigger rashes/irritation/ovarian cancer =[

      any organic product that may help?

      I tried a few brands but I usually stick to just water. I think that’s safest.

      I used to use Eve & a couple of other brands but I thought they were just a little too expensive. About 3 years ago I switched to using baby bath, you can use pretty much any brand. It’s a lot cheaper, & you get a big bottle.

      Yes definitely! The pH ‘down there’ is different from the rest of the body, too much alkali from common soap will disrupt the ‘wellbeing’ of the fragile area, on a worst case scenario one will be at risk for yeast infection and various whatevers *gross* Ideally the cleanser should have a pH of 3.5 – 4.5 to support the natural acidic environment of the nether regions. I’ve tried many brands; Lactacyd, Summer’s Eve etc but my current staying brand is Eubos, they seem like the leading brand for the sensitive skin / dermatological segment. I think most reputable fem-wash brands are good, as long the pH is correct.

      Hey!
      It’s like you’ve read my mind or something.. I’ve been contemplating if I should get one as well… I’ve seen some in Pulse and Safeway QV… Haven’t been down to Priceline to check it out ><''' But yes! Do blog once you've decided on one and I'll be sure to find out more and inform you if I've got any info about it.

      Cheerrssss!!!~

      i’m now using Eubos too. this is my first time trying and i do feel “fresh” down there. just a little bit each time when you shower will do.
